APA Hotel Sugamo Ekimae

Good value for price, nice location. Spa/bath is definitely a plus. Lots of cafes and restaurants nearby, near yamanote line.

The hotel is a few minutes walk from Sugamo station (JR Yamanote and Mita subway lines), in a much less crowded part of Tokyo than, say, Shinjuku or Tokyo station, still surrounded by a lot of shops and restaurants, making it an excellent home base for a Tokyo trip. The hotel itself seems very new and the rooms are kept very clean. The size of the room is as small as you'd expect from a business hotel. The bed was soft and comfortable. The breakfast is in the connected restaurant on the ground floor, and it has a lot of options each day but little variety. Last order is managed a bit weird, they could do with less food waste and start packing up later if they'd let us eat from what's already there in the dishes in that last half hour — just not replenishing stuff and not taking custom orders. Instead they just start packing up and even if you wanted to stay till 10 and grab a refill, it's not always possible. But it was good breakfast.

Perfect position, away from Shinjuku or Shibuya, with their very expensive hotels, while at the same time very close to Sugamo Station and its Yamanote Line, that pass for all the major stations of the city (including Shinjuku, Shibuya etc., so easily reachable). Free wi-fi, hotel very quiet and staff very helpful. The onsen were very relaxing, maybe just a bit too hot for one of the pulls.

Facilities are good. We have everything we need in the room. Everything was clean and smelt good. The TV had all the infos we need. The cleaning happens every 3 days and is well done you can ask for it too. The bathroom is clean and has all the amenities from shampo conditioner body lotion to hair bands razors hair brush cotton pads and soap. I love how they daily give you new towls, news robs and news cups and tea and suggar. Even a small fridge and hair blower. There is a microwave in the 9th floor and laundry machine in many floors. I really recommand it.

The artificial onsen at the top floor was incredibly pleasant and worth the price. Being able to go take a hot bath after a long day of walking around Tokyo was incredibly appreciated. The hotel was overall very nice and new. I appreciate the tv having a revolving fun of commercials and informative videos which make the time in the room quite amicable. The bathroom is small but well optimized and can decently fit a hefty person such as myself. Also the tv has information on the amenities throughout the hotel such as occupancy for the onsen or which washing machines are occupied.
